Denise Marie Timmerman was called home to the Lord on July 5, 2023, at the Prairie Home Hospice McLaughlin House in Marshall.  She was born February 2, 1956 to Archie & Madeline (Boncquet) Timmerman in Marshall, Minnesota.  She grew up on the family farm near Minneota, MN where she loved caring for the various farm animals.  She attended St Eloi Catholic School and Minneota High School.   

Denise worked at several jobs including many years at Schwan’s and SMSU Food Service.  She moved into her new home in 2010 where she resided until 2022 when her health needs became challenging.  She then moved to Good Samaritan Society in Westbrook, MN.  There the caregivers and residents became her second family. 

Faith and family were very important to Denise, she received all of her sacraments at St. Eloi Catholic Church in Ghent, MN.  When she moved to Marshall she joined the Holy Redeemer Parish, serving the church as a Eucharistic Minister, and volunteered with the RCIA program.

She enjoyed the outdoors and loved caring for her flowers and gardening.  She was a talented artist and painted many beautiful wildlife and landscape scenes.  She also enjoyed making floral arrangements and writing poems.

Denise had a special place in her heart for those less fortunate and for animals, she especially loved her dog, Foxy.  She had a unique sense of humor that was evident by her quick wit and clever responses that always brought about laughter and smiles to those around her.  Denise was a joy to be with and will be greatly missed. 

She is survived by her siblings: Gordon (Judy) Timmerman, Mary Jean (Charlie) Coudron, Joyce (Glen) Kesteloot, Linda (Kevin) Honetschlager, Mark (Pam) Timmerman, all of Marshall, MN; Brian (Darla) Timmerman of Minneota, MN, Bruce (Carla) Timmerman of Rushford, MN.  She is also survived by 26 nieces & nephews; aunts, uncles, cousins, and special friend, Mike Harrold of Pocahontas, IA.

She was preceded in death by her parents, grandparents, several aunts, uncles and a great-great niece.

Blessed be her memory.
